While at Laporte Tuesday, <ien. Managers. 1). Townsend staled to the News Item that it was Ids earnest desire lo make a beautiful picnic ground at Mokoma and run frequent excursions to it during the warm seasons. Properly handled it could be made to pay handsome re turns to all concerned. Why it lias not been done is no fault of the fair and enterprising management of the railroad. The Lake property seems to lie in the hands of men who care nothing for small returns or any im provement whatever of the property. As it appears, the making of Moko ma lies mostly with the railroad people anil they are rather averse to working for peoples' pockets who hold arbitrary views with a chronic desire to possess all the proceeds. There is not likely to be any prac tical remedy for this state of affairs which holds back the development of this beautiful resort until a suitable valuation is placed upon it by our tax assessor. The very modest tax paid on this valuable property by the wealthy gentlemen who simply hold it for speculation is an item of little consequence to them and should be so adjusted that Laporte could get back some of her deprived assess ment valuation.

Development in the new stave factory to be erected by Trexler & Terrill will not now be long in get ting a start at this place. Accord ing to plans now exacted the pro posed factory will be in operation by October next. On Tuesday, General Manager of the W. AN. 11. It. It., Mr. Town send, with his track boss, Kllie Hubb, and surveyor, \V. ('. Mason, met on the ground of the proposed plant, with Mr. Oscar Trezler, of Allentown, with his superintendent, Mr. Jas. Monroe, and factory fore men, (,'lias. Smith and N. S. Millet. The location of the factory was staked out, and a siding surveyed which will be laid by the Railroad Company, at once, when completed the machinery and lumber for tin* factory will begin to arrive on the grounds. The Horough stone crush er has been moved to the place and will be putin operation this week, crushing stone with which to make a concrete arched steam pit, SO feet long and wide enough to allow for a double track, on which trucks will pass each holding one half cord of bolts which are steamed before cut into staves. The main building will be about lUS by 30 feet, with many additional sheds and outbuildings. A one hun dred horse power boiler will be in stalled to generate steam. The plant when completed will cost iu the aggregate $16,000, and the very substantial manner in which it is constructed, and supplied with the most improved and modern machinery, would indicate that it is no short lived project, but one that will give paying employment to La porte for many years. Messrs. Trexler and Terrill have leased all the lands of the Union Tanning Co., in this section of the eounty and will purchase timber of smaller individual land owners wherever it can be procured. The factory will be stocked with logs principally in winters. The daily capacity will be .{(tOUO staves, em ploying 25 men in the factory. In the woods upwards of 75 men will be employed at times. Cement manufacturers will be the largest cus tomers for the product of this facto ry. A large Itoarding house will be erected near the factory for the ac commodation of laborers. The business of this industry will lie transacted mostly through the tirms offices at Rickets. Supt. Jas. Monroe, of near Indianapolis, Ind. will have complete charge of the business with headquarters at this place, however. Laporte is one of the most favored spots in the county for the manufac ture of wooden articles, and the start has been made which will be the up building of a prosperous commercial village. Withing lifteen miles of her boundary line is two-thirds of the hardwood timber of the county. The prevailing elements of its sur face features are forests and broken hills. This fact proves that the hard wood manufactury industry at La porte has heretofore been passed by, Nordmont. I. Prof. 8. M. Work, of ludiauna, I'a., who has been attending Bible Conference, at Eagles Mere, spent a day with Mr. and Mrs. Hay Kessler. Ernest Botsford spent Friday in Williainsport.
